The biggest difference between a cavalry charge and a chariot charge is that the horses' hooves may rumble, but the clumsy wheels are never heard or seen on the battlefield, and the cavalry charge is much faster than the chariot.

The Qi Yan coalition army was constantly covered by the arrow array before, and even if it could survive, it was a few people who were stunned and stood on the battlefield in a daze, when Lu Zhejun's iron cavalry rolled forward, those Qi Yan coalition soldiers who were stupid were directly knocked to the ground by the heavy cavalry equipped with Ma Kai, and then countless horse hooves trampled over.

The three arrows that were opened by the heavy cavalry of the armament, they would inevitably usher in arrows when they approached the main formation of the Qiyan coalition army, but because the crossbow troops who shot at Lu Zhe's army just now took advantage of the long range, the crossbowmen of the Qiyan coalition army also suffered heavy casualties, and now there are not many people who can shoot arrows against the armored heavy cavalry.

It is not too dense under the arrows, the sound of the arrow and the armor colliding is not too intense, when the arrow shot by the Qi Yan coalition hits the knight on horseback, the arrow hit the knight's body The polished smooth plate armor was immediately slid away at all, and it could only be nailed when it hit the gap of the plate armor and the horse that was dressed like armor, but the gap in the armor with heavy riding was linked by crocodile skin and old cowhide, and there was not enough penetration to form a kill, and the arrow that was not deep in the flesh could only form a kill.

Seeing that so many arrows were shot and a few were not shot down, and the rolling cavalry was still rushing forward, who wouldn't have greater fear?

Tian Rong had already seen the soldiers in front of the array turn around and run, and the Yan troops who dismounted on the left and right wings to organize the infantry formation were crushed by a torrent of steel before they could gain a firm foothold.

The Yan army horses, who had never seen the cavalry charge, were fighting according to the original routine, riding close to the enemy and then dismounting to drive away the horses, and the soldiers ran to the right position one by one in the sound of the command. How could they think that the other party didn't follow the routine, and directly drove the war horses to kill the generals without seeing the dismount formation?

The Yan army, who didn't have time to stand shoulder to shoulder, was stunned by waves of arrows when they were in formation, and then before they could figure out what was going on, Lu Zhejun's pioneer immediately collided. It was a heavy sound of horses' hooves, and a horse spear stabbed a man with a brittle crack. Then the person who was stabbed was immediately hit by the war horse before he could react, and one after another knight with mounted equipment stabbed the target with the horse gun in his hand and cracked, and the knight immediately drew out the scene of the side of the chariot and the elongated slashing sword.

In fact, the knights with heavy horses almost had no chance to chop the extended saber in their hands, and the speed of about forty-five miles galloped, and before they could react, the war horse under their crotch had already crashed into the obstacle in front of them, and only after slowing down due to continuous impact, the extended saber equipped by the knight was considered to be useful.

There is still one thing in common between the mounted heavy cavalry and the charioteer, although it is not limited to death like a chariot, but it is not easy to complete the turn in high-speed galloping, and it is forced to turn at an unsuitable speed. It will be greeted by the end of people turning on their backs.

On the battlefield, the left and right flanks of the coalition forces collapsed almost immediately at the outbreak of fighting, and did not play a role in hindering or containing them at all. The Yan army, which was encountering this mode of warfare for the first time, encountered a slaughter that could be leveraged by equipping the stirrups.

"The left and right wings have collapsed!" Zang Di's tone was full of incredulity.

Tian Rong is clothes were dumbfounded: "Not only the thin troops on the left and right flanks, but also the frontal battlefield...... It's not good! ”

You can't use such an uncertain word as "not good", because under the charge of a thousand heavy cavalry, the Qiyan coalition army on the frontal battlefield was either fired by crossbows or ravaged by spears and extended swords, and one after another arrays composed of infantry troops were collapsing one after another.

Even in the era when the power of heavy cavalry charging was known, it was difficult for the infantry to resist if they were mentally prepared and took corresponding protective measures. What's more, in this era that I haven't seen?

As long as the mounted heavy cavalry is not forced to stop, the charge formed by them will not stop at all, and will continue to penetrate completely.

The hunting was that each side dispatched 30,000 troops, and the Qiyan coalition army had already lost more than 10,000 before the heavy cavalry attacked. Another 10,000 were divided on both sides to organize the threat from the left and right flanks of Lu Zhe's army, so how thick can the frontal battlefield be?

Seeing the heavy cavalry and iron cavalry in three directions rolling forward, and the light cavalry and infantry army behind him were full of piles of meat and mud that had been trampled on by the heavy cavalry, Lu Zhe's eyes were retracted from the Qiyan coalition army's main formation, which had completely collapsed.

"Gear up and ride out of the way. Light cavalry and infantry followed, and then the archery and crossbow troops covered the rear of the enemy," Lu Zhe exhaled softly with a turbid breath in his chest: "This method of warfare has changed the mode of warfare. ”

It wasn't just Qi Yan who was stunned. Even the countries from the beginning to the end all had a ghostly expression, and they could be regarded as seeing what the legendary invincible Lu Zhejun looked like.

"No, no......" Xiang Liang shook his head fiercely: "When the Chu army and Lu Hou were at war, the war mode was still the same as before. ”

The so-called previous appearance is that cavalry is not used at all, and the main force of the two warring sides is still infantry.

After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he remembered the report on the battle of Danyang, and after thinking about it, he decided not to say it, after all, the seventy or eighty thousand Chu army lost too badly.

No one figured out how Lu Zhejun's single horse could charge, in their opinion, single horse riding was a class of soldiers using war horses to speed up the march. They had seen the power of the cavalry, which was laid by the bones of a large number of Qi Yan coalition troops, and they were extremely eager to find out if there was any secret inside.

The war was unfavorable to the point that the army would collapse, and when the casualties on the side were unbearable, the soldiers would scatter and flee, and when the Lü Zhe army on the left and right flanks joined the frontal battlefield, the light and heavy cavalry that charged from the front had already cut through the main position of the Qiyan coalition army.

At this moment, Tian Rong and Zang Di no longer needed to command the battle, they stood on the high nest cart and watched the enemy army galloping past one after another, and when their vision extended outward, they saw corpses all over the field.

The light and heavy cavalry of Lu Zhejun, who had penetrated the main formation of the Qiyan coalition army head-on, stopped in place, and before they launched the charge, there were 1,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry, and now the number of mounted heavy cavalry should be about 950 in the past, and the number of light cavalry is also nearly 2,700.

In fact, the strength of the Qiyan coalition army's own formation is too weak, and it has not organized a tight crowding formation, and the cavalry rushing into battle can really be described as effortless, not to mention that the Qiyan coalition army's main formation has been covered by Lu Zhe's archbow and crossbow troops' arrow array, and how many casualties can it cause to Lu Zhe's cavalry charging formation?

"Lost!" Zang Di's cheeks twitched: "It's so miserable, it's too miserable!" ”

Can it not be miserable? The corpses of the Qiyan coalition army were all over the ground, and less than 3,000 people surrendered and saved their lives under the charge and pursuit of the cavalry.

"Is this Lu Zhejun?" Tian Rong's face was pale, partly because he lost too badly, and partly because he was too frightened in his heart: "If we don't go south, we won't go south......"

What a ghost in the south! 30,000 against 30,000, the Qiyan coalition army was annihilated, and the main and deputy commanders were also surrounded by the infantry soldiers of Lu Zhe's army who were surrounded at this moment, and the people who could still stand on the entire battlefield were Tian Rong, Zang Di and one who was responsible for waving the flag, and the rest were either dead or kneeling and surrendering. And how many kills and injuries did they inflict on Lu Zhe? It is estimated that there are less than three thousand. If the killed Lu Zhejun could exceed a thousand, he should have snickered!

Li Liang was standing under the nest car and smiling at it, his expression was a standard salesman's smile with eight teeth exposed. The etiquette officer who can hunt is him, and after running back and forth so many times, he has long been familiar with the main and deputy generals on Qi Yan's side, so the person who came to invite Tian Rong and Zang Di to go over to Lu Zhe's side as prisoners should naturally be him. Lu Zhe called this a beginning and an end.

"Go down?" Zang Di has stabilized his mind, although it is still extremely painful that the 10,000 Yan army has become ashes, and he is ashamed that he is about to become a prisoner, but what else can he do?

Tian Rong showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Good, good ......", he didn't think that he had any worries about his life, and he was destined not to be blamed by the king if he fought too miserably, and he would be unlucky if he won a miserable victory or stalemate.

Weird? Actually, it's not surprising at all! No matter how you look at it, the strength of the two armies is not at the same level, and Tian Rong and Zang Di are also decent in this meeting, and the fiasco is no longer a situation where the commander and deputy commanders are not in good command, but fundamentally the gap between the two sides is too big.

As a person with such a combat experience, even if he got the bitter fruit of a fiasco, as long as the king of Qi Yan did not have a problem with his brain, he would not blame Tian Rong and Zang Di too much, they would only try their best to redeem and try to find the true situation of the fiasco from those who had experienced it firsthand.

On the stage of the alliance, Xiang Liang was sorting out the clothes and armor on his body, and he had already sent someone to ask to enter the battlefield, so naturally he also wanted to find out what was going on.

Not only Xiang Liang, as long as he is a sober person, who doesn't want to figure it out!

The person sent by Xiang Liang came back to tell him that Lu Zhe was going to come to Huimengtai, and General Xiang could wait in place.

Lü Zhe not only restricted people from going to the battlefield, but also sent a large number of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and the order given was to be sure to pack up any things left by the cavalry.

It's a play, but it doesn't mean that Lu Zhe won't cover up the storage of the stirrups, he got that some of the charging cavalry jumped on the horse's hooves, and finally remembered that in addition to the stirrups, there was also a horseshoe storage, and he was thinking about whether to make it out together.
